Note 382 — SECOND PART. The Astronomy of Dante. (continued 2)
Reading edition
“As through the pure and tranquil evening air There shoots from time to time a sudden fire, Moving the eyes that steadfast were before, And seems to be a star that changeth place, Except that in the place where it is kindled Nothing is missed, and this endureth little.” Par. xv. 13-18. (Longfellow).
